POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. LAMENTABLE EARLY DEPRAVITY..A boy, named J Stokes, of very respectable appearance, and great simplicity of manner, neatly dressed in a braided jacket and trowsers, and a white hat, was brought before the Lord .luyor, charged with having been concerned in several of the robberies committed lately in the City. It appeared by the statement of Brady, the street-keeper, that the boy, who does not appear to be more than twelve years of age, had been tried for robbery before, and punished in Ncwgate, and that all attempts to reform him had proved inetliTtual. lie hint, on the present occasion, crept along the tops of several houses in Throg morton-street, until he reached one into which he succeeded in effecting an entrance. He found in the garrets only a few silk handkerchiefs, which he thought worthy of notice. ; He stowed them about his person, and then moved to another house, and entered the chamber of a young lady, where he pocketed, all her trinkets. He, however, was interrupted, detected, and soon afterwards apprehended on .the top of a house by Brady, to whom he mentioned with great simplicity ; that he was merely looking for his pigeons, and that he belonged to No. 11.-1 he Lord Mayor asked hint where he lived. fie replied, that he had lived with his mother until within the Wit three or four weeks, and that he had taken separate lodgings fur himself in Petticout-lane.—The laird Mayor: How many of you lodge in that place ? Prisoner : Why , l et me see , th ere ' s four of us, but they are not of the trad e I f o ll ow ; t h ey on ly b eg . The laird Mayor How long have you been at this trade of thieving ? Prisoner: Why, let me see, lam about 1.0 months or thereabouts at it—The Lord Mayor: Were you not whipped in prison ? Prisoner : Aye, and well whipped too.—The Lord Mayor : And you still go on in the old wity ? Prisoner: I ant just the same.—The Lord Mayor : Where did you intend to go with what you stole ? Prisoner : That I cannot way.—ThC Lord Mayor : I suppose you would have brought it to some place where you have „sold property before ; where is that ? Prisoner—Oh, that is down somewhere about the Minories, as you go along you turn to the right, and then to the left, and thou you walk on till you come to a narrow lane, and then you walk into the next street. and you come to a man's house that sells things. This was the extent of the information-given by the prisoner, who twisted his hat all the time he was speaking. I —The Lout) Namur, in despair, ordered the unfortunateboy to be remanded till Thursday. 110MSTR CET. TWEATIIICAL FRACAS.—.S'yelneg Gillman, a his. suit-bakei-, residing in Oxfutd-stteet, and de) uty,door-iteeper to the Minor • Theatre. in Catherine-stres as yesterday brought before the Sitting Magistrate, T. HALLS, Esquire, charged by Mr. Moy, a respectable tradesman in Drury-lane, with an assault under the fidiowing circumstances :—Mr. 3loy stated, that on Monday night, about six o'clock, do, defend. ant came to his shop and ordered, in the name of C. Cook, the Acting Manager of the above establishment, half a gallon of sperm oil to be sent directly to the theatre, which Mr• did, but told his son not to leave it without receiving the money ; the boy, on arriving,there„however, delivered the oil to the de fendant, who desired him to return and bring sonic candles. The complainant, instead of sending the candles, went in pro. Aria persona, re9uested to see Mr. Cook, .and endeavoured to obtain payment for the oil. - 31 r. Cook, on hearing the nature of Mr. 3loy's ci ii, darted from the stage, and flew with the rapi. dity of lightning between the scenes, with the c.omplainant close at his heels, for upward's of a quarter of un hour, till Mr. C. jumped through a trap dour, leiiving his pursuer, who had not the courage to follow him, to bewail the loss of his oil, and the disappearance of the manager. Mr. Moy, however, determined not to be " done," proceeded to the door in search of George Sydney Gillman, to whom the oil was delivered, and demanded payment from him ; but no sooner hail he mule the applica tion, than he received a smeller from the defendant, and lie was pushed out and the door bolted apinst him.. Haying knocked, however, arid insisted on seeing 31r. Oeik, he was admitted, and again conduetd to the stage, where nine persons were standing, in full theatrical costume; but there 1t as no Acting Manager among them, and Mr. May retreated, sans argent, to claim re,iress against his assailant. Mr. tannin being called on tar his defence, admitted that he was officiating as door.. halter fur a AIN J:rvim ; that he also bud , by the direction of the Manager, obtained the oil front the defentiant,bot solemnly denied having committed any further assault on 3lr. Moy than " gently" pushing him, with m others, who blo.cked up the passage, out of the door, and fastening it agaiNst them.

UNION HALL. • ROBBERIES AT ASTI.EY'S THEATRE. —Yesterday morn ing, soon after the Si tt i ng Magistrate had taken hia seat, a gentleman en t ere d t h e o th ce , for the purpose of givin intim. ation of the followin g d a ring rubbery :-..The gentleman, g m who expressed a wish that his name should nut he disclosed, stated that he went to the pit of the above theatre on the pre. ceding eveni ng , commenced, the inf lu x of eomparl into the house became so accompanied by his wife. When the half price great, that he determined upon retiring; and with this intention he anti his wife rose from their seats, and were proceeding towards the entrance that leads into the first lobby, when in :t moment his companion ejaculated, " That man," pointing to one, ,t has his hand in your pocket." Infewmant immediately turned round, and perceived tt genteel looking man darting tOwards the centre of the pit, whom he followed on discovering that InNad been robbed of his Wow!) Russia leather pocket book, containing eight' Exchequer" Bills, / a l oe 1001. each, numbers 4,190, 4,199, 4,2 00 , 4.:411, 4,202, 4 403, 4,204, and 4,207, dated 27th Septen,ber, 1025, b es ide s a valuable gold watch, chain, and seals. Hoeing saiztA the suspected person, whom he endeavoured to detain until one of the constables came to his assistance, he made vigorous at. , tempts - to break away, and the informant was oblig:d to quit his .grasp of th e thief, in consequence of his havillg been beset by a strong party of men, all of whom appeared to belong to the same gang. He described that he was knocked down, while his wife, who attempted to asxiat in securing the robber, bad her arms pinioned by others of the party, until the person who actually committed the robbery made his escape. • The -informant minutely described the person a the man who was pointed out to hint by his wife, and who made such e ff or t s to escape after th e tat trage. From the Gen t l eman ' s account o f t he daring n ature o f t h e rob. fiery, it w ou ld appear t h at t h e re was no sa f ety w h atever in entering' such a place of amusement, as its maws that , t. regular gang of well-dressed fellows frequent the theatre since: its opening, and c om m it the most bare-laced robberies, not. withstanding the attendance of two persona who act as con stables. Hall, the thief constable, said that numerous robberiea had taken place in the same Theatre, and he imputed . it to the inefficiency of the constables that were employed by the pro prietors. They were onaegtutinted with the Jto mito , or the thieves and the mode of detecting their operations. The rva• son they were employed wee, because they accepted u.. pr e week, while t h e o ffi cers of police would require arts. per wet; A reward of SO4. was offered tot the apprehension of dor thieves. IMPERIAL PLATE-GLAii COMPANY. Yesterday, a Meeting of the Shareholders of this Company was held at the City of London Tavern, lii shopgate-street. A' few minutes after one o'clddc, Colonel Lantlmann, one of the Directors, entered the room, and took the.eitair. Mr. JOHN WILKS, the Solicitor of the Company, then rose, and said that .this Meeting was convened by public advertise ment, in order to lay before the Shereinilders a state of the Aides of the Company, and further to take into consideration what would he the most efficient mode to carry into effect the objects contemplated by the Ibrination of the- Company. He . should now read a report, the adoption of which, he thought, would meet with the sanction of the proprietary. A Shareholder saki, belbre the report was read, he should move that the reporters of the public press be forthwith ordered to leave the room, and addressing himself In Air. Wright, it Diree:or, added, " you will sceond that motion." Mr. Wit mire said, instead of secomline he would oppeiZe it. He wax most anxious that every gentleman should be ad mitted, as nothing could afford hint gre..ter pleasori.i than that the fullest investigation should take place le ttie conduct of the Directors, and he saw no reason that the Aletiiiig should not be quite public, except the inconvenience which might ar i se f rom Ole presence of persons who were not at all interested ; but to the admission of the reporters„ he should feel happy in af fording every convenience to all who attended. The Shareholder then withdrew his resoht • ion. A Shareholder then submitted the propriety of every gentle ' man present exhibiting his shares, as he was apprehensive that many persons were present who were originally shareholders, but who had transferred their shares. Auer a desultory con versation between the Chairman, Alr. Wilks, and other of the shareholders, it was finally resolved, that in case Lila ballot, every gentleman would be required to pro:Luce his shares., Air. Wilks then read the report, which deteiltd at consider able length the objects originally contemplated, us set down in the prospectus, their progress, and practiceability ; and it par. ticularly animadverted on the conduct of two of the former ma. tinging directors, who, when the shares were at a premium, hail issued 230 shares over the 2,000 %hues mentioned in the prospectus, by the issue of' which the Company lost 6.511. 17s. 6d., as the directors thought it prudent to re-purchase them that the intended capital of the Company was 200,0001., hut that only 4,0001. was had from deposits on sharen, and that he would, at the conclusion of the report, read to them an au ' diced account of the appropriation of it. It further stated that the directors had agreed for the purchase of live acres of ground in the Isle of Dogs for the building of a manufactory, fur which they agreed to pay a rent of 3001. a year, and expend at least 10,000/. on it,' and that they paid 1,000/. 61.0.4, whi c h woul d be returned when the erection of a building was m a d e , or t h e sum of 10,000!. expended; but if they should fail in the per formance of the agreement, the money would be forfeited. It further stated, that in order to prepare for the erection of a ma nufuctory, they had purchased, by advertisements and contract for ready money, 325,000 bricks, which ate raw on the land, and the directors had procured careful designs and estimates as to the best mode of constructing the works, and the real ex. pence. Mr. Wilke concluded by stating, that if they obtained a charter, the deed would be superseded, - another call of 31. per share must be made immediately, and if the works were coin. pleted.during the preSent year, a sum of 201. per share must be actually paid, notwithstanding the difficul:y of the times, and that the proprietors were principally composed of persons inte rested in the trade. - Mr. WI Let A3l CLARK, a shareholder, observed, that the conduct of the late Managing Directors, Messrs. Mott and Ire-• laud, were such, with regard to the 230 shares, as he should, in the course of the day's proceedings, have occasion to make some observations upon. 111 r. ASHUUST addressed the chair, and stated, that 'he At- tended there on the part of those gentlemen whose conduct was alluded to by the gentleman who spoke last. Yet, though he had to express his acknowledgments for the very delicate Mall. nerin which their conduct had been alluded to in the report, he still hoped, that es. thaw CUJlttllet Would tigated before another tribunal, it would be quite unfair to make it a matter of discussion at dint meeting, as it was caleu fated to prejudice the public mind against therm Mr. W. CLAIM was of opinion, that the fullest investige don ought to sake place into the eiremnstances of die issue or .the 1311 shares, as also into the conduct of those gentlemen, and how far they were liable for the 6.111. I7s. 6d., the runt expended for the repurehase of the shares. A Shareholder observed, that any discussion of that subject now could nut fix liability on them. • t • I Mr. CI.4IiK was of it contrary opinio4. 111 r. AtintinsT admitted the issue of the 2311 shares, but ob served' that Mr. Clark, wine was now' their provecutor, was anxious to create a prejudice against th , bse gentlemen, and he considered that sash conduct ought not to be countenanced by the meeting. • 31r. Ci..saic replied, that he (Mr. A.ahurst) had done hint 1 injustice to impute such conduct to hint, at he never torn moment contemplated such, but observed, that it was 3lr.

A Shareholder then moved that Air. Ashurtt be requested to retire, which was seconded. The ()LAI!! N then put the resolution flout the chair, WO upon a sinew of Hands it appeared unanimous. The CHAIR male then politely intimated to Mr. Ashvirst that he was at perfect liberty to withdraw. Mr. A snttitsT said, before he should leave the room, he would make one observation, which was, that he hoped the Chairman •would not permit any discussion on the character of those gentlemen; they being absent When doing so, would be only indulging the tl'elings of their prosecutor, whose old, object seemed to be to prejudice the public feeling against them. Mr. CLARK indignantly denied that ouch was his object.

Thi4 day the surrey Session's cOinesieneed at Reigate, about 24 or 30 of - rht - Megistralet beint> present, tiS this seem what it called she Nuitty day, from its being the day on which the gem nerd bit:Ones:l or the comity, such as accounts, piesenurients of &c., are taken into consideration. Some points which arose in the course . of these discussion s merit some attention. On reacting the report of one of the jailers, it appeared that he had an insane person in custody. The insanity was proved by a surgeon. Upou t this it was observed by some of the AU gistrates, that it was extremely hard to saddle the county with the expense of keeping such persons, who, perhaps, ordered for imprisonment for a long period, became insane soon after their incarceration, and thereby became unfit objects for punishment. Mr. RANDALL JACKSON conceived that, in strict law, pri.; miners must be confined during the period of their sentence ; but is such cases, as the present, upon representation to the proper quarters, orders would, no doubt, be given for the discharge of such persons from the county prisons, and leave them to their friends or parishes. The case in question was that of a soldier, and , application had been made to the Commander of his Itegi went, who insisted that the insanity wits only assumed, and re fused to have any thi ng to d o w i t h t h e man. Here the mutter reced. The Ilicirr Sax rFr then, wi:hout any specific motion on the subject, called the attention of the Magistrates to the canet of persons sentenced to imprisonment for considerable periods for assaults with intent to connuit unnatural crimes. It was of great importance in a moral view, to keep such persons *epic.; rate front others confined for misdemeanours of a different de. scription, and separate also from one another ; but us such per. eons had not been sentenced to 'eatery confinement, he wus doubtful whether he had the power to separate them from others whose sentences were similar, although for offenees old different nature. Sit Tiloslas 'ruler()); was of opinion, that, in matters of regulation, the gaol was under the authority of tire Sheriff, an d that the Sim& was, therefore, auth or i se d to i nterf e re i n mut It cases to any extent short of changing the sentence under which the prisoners had been committed. Mr. 11. So AMER was of a ditfereat opinion, and contended that the busineas of regulation belomed to die committee of Visiting Magistrates, subject to the High Sheriff, merely with refertnre to the point of safe custody, w hi c h th e Sh er ift h a d a clear right to insist upon. The Clerk of the Peace (Mr. Law: son) was of the tier opinion. A .11,10isTRATE stated, that. the eases of the three persons which had given occasion to this discussion, had been under the . consideration of ,the Visiting Com m itt ee; an d t h e C omm i ttee thought they had not the power to order a separation ; because it appeared to be altering the nature of the sentence under which the persOns in question feud been confined. it was generally admitted, that this was a matter of a great deal too much portance to be passed over upon a mete conversation : and that the attention of the Magistrates Habil be soon called to It again by a specific motion or otherivise. Mr. H. Su/rink:lt suggested, that such persons might be let ant of their cells at certain hours, , for air end exercise, while the other prisonets were confined ;,these persons, while ()or ) ! being wltr the inspection of a turnkey, end then returned to their separate cells. • It could not be justly raid, that 4 separation of this kind amounted to solitary confinement. Of this opinion appeared to be Air. Dawson, the Clerk of the Peace ; and it appeared to be the general impression that this regulation might be carried into effect without trenching on the nature of the sentence.—Here the Matter rested for the present. Mr. 1.1. Suatwent, Mr. DENISON, and others, presented s Report, recommending an alteration of the order, in which coma) , matters were brought forward, th ere by consid erably ad: vaneing, in point of time; the investigation of the County Ac. counts, which had usually com e on at so l ate an h oar that few of the Magistrates remained to pay the matter any attention. • Sir Tsostas TUNTON did not see any advantage in this` transposition of the business of the county, and recommended as a better plan, that two days should be devoted to aff a ir s o f this nature, instead of one ; and also recommended that, as in the case of the county of Somerset, antler the .59th of the late King, dial-exit sets of Magistrates should ,proceed with dif..." fermi portions of the busine s s a t th e saute t ime. He compli. mented the County Members upon their application to the Ise• counts of the county at any hour, however late, having dif~ ferent tastes front those who went to eat their roast beet' and roast turkey. Mr. 11. Surivult and Mr. De:Kw,/ thanked the worthy Baronet for the compliment, and observed; that considering their situation as Representatives of the Comity, it would ill become them not to pay particular attention to hs offline. The Report was confirmed by a majority. At the recommendation of Alr. Su wslat an other Meet.; trates, all the divisions of the county, except the Ryegate had consented that one standard set of weights and rm.' sures should be kept for the utte of the county, and that one inJ speetor should be nominated fin the whole, with si salary of 1.611/: per annum. The Reigate division having objected to the ar rangtanent; on the ground th a t a lilted salary would create an unnecessary expence. 11r. IluDsox, one of the Dissenting Magistrates of the Rei.: gate division, now moved, that the special officer of that division should have the use of the County Standards when he wanted thenh—This was objected to as very inconvenient, as the stand ards might be wanted by both parties at the same tune.—The motion was negatived by a majority. Mr. lltiuson then moved, that rise Reigate division should have a .separate set of its owni This was objected to as very expensive; and this motion was also negatived. The people of Dorking were alloWed, upon their petition, a few weeks' delay in the payment of their County rates, upon the ground stated by Mr. Denison, that the people were much bar:based by the failure of their Bank. It was mule:stood, at the same thne, that such indulgence was not to be granted, ex.: cept upon strong grounds, as the practice might lead to abuses. There being soother mutters of any public interest disc ussed , the Meeting adjourned at six o'clock., ColltiN Neil I N4ill EST.—Yestprtioy evening an Inquisition wits taken at the Bedford Anus', Ceintnersird road ' , before .1.
